Many
iPhone 6s and 7 users on iOS 12 are facing issue that Touch ID and Passcode
option is not visible in setting on iPhone or iPad. The issue first started to
happen after changing Content & Privacy Restrictions on the iPhone in iOS
12. The Touch ID and passcode setting in iPhone will disappear if you change
the settings like changing Screentime>Content & Privacy
Restrictions>Passcode Changes to Don't Allow, you will notice that Passcode
and Touch id setting are no more visible in iPhone now. The menu and selection is missing.

Not
only this, if want to recover now and change the setting to allow again, still
the Touch Id and Passcode setting will not come back. This is very annoying
that even after re-enabling passcode changes option in Content and Privacy
Restrictions in iOS12.1.2, the option to edit Touch Id and passcode setting
will be no longer available. It is available in search, but, but when clicked
on it nothing happens.
Surely
this is either a software bug in iOS 12 or some configuration changes in
setting which is causing TouchId and Passcode settings to disappear.
One
user reported the issue as :
“So I recently
updated my 7+ to iOS 12. Everything was fine until I started having issues with
Siri not responding to voice commands. So I reset my network setting and Siri
started to work fine. Then, I decided to setup my Touch ID & Passcode, but
it is nowhere to be found. The menu and selection is missing. It is available
in search, but, when I click on it nothing happens.
I've reset my phone
several times and did a hard reboot with no success. It has vanished. This is
very much a security bug in the new OS. Any advice?”
How to
fix iPhone 6s/7/ XR/XS Max not showing TouchId and Passcode settings
Fix : Check
passcode setting (to Allow)
Please
on your iPhone go and check in the “restrictions” in the settings and verify if
the setting to allow “passcode changes” is not set to “Don’t Allow”. Go to
“Settings”—“Screen Time”—“Content & Privacy Restrictions” then look for
“Passcode Changes” in the “Allow Changes” section. Hope this helps you .
